GAME, SET AND NAP

-

Andy Murray gets a rude awakening by comedian Michael McIntyre for this year’s Sport Relief.

The tennis ace had his sleep cut short to play Midnight Gameshow, from McIntyre’s Big Show.

Andy said: “He was the last person I expected to see at the foot of my bed in the middle of the night.

“Once I got over the shock and managed to wake up, I had fun.

“And it’s great that it will help to raise money for such a good cause.”

Michael said: “The minute the idea was mentioned I knew we had to make this happen.

“Probably the most challengin­g Midnight Gameshow yet but it was so worth it. Thankfully Andy saw the funny side”

The actress, 35, has landed the role of the first female Doctor, taking over from Peter Capaldi. But she told The Sunday Times: “As a family we didn’t watch it except at other people’s houses.

“I was much more aware of it when it came back with Christophe­r Eccleston, David Tennant and Matt Smith.”
